Map of football support in London

This map of football support in London is interesting, if only as a talking point.   It's striking how geographically squeezed the support base of the smaller clubs is.  It's also worth bearing in mind that a lot of support for the bigger clubs comes from outside London: my guess would be at least 50 per cent.   In the case of Charlton, a medium-sized club, there are probably as many supporters who have migrated to live in Kent as live in the 'home boroughs' of Greenwich and Bexley.   Hence, the club runs a network of coaches from Kent on match days.

Whenever I take my boy to the park  (in Barnet) for a kick about -  it's 30% Man U shirts then Arsenal, Spurs and the odd QPR (me) in that order . Love your site by the way. Excellent work.
